The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 245 Bloody Town

Today's Valentine is still peaceful and peaceful.

Since the new deputy chief took office, the atmosphere of the entire town has improved several levels. Not only have there been fewer liars and thieves, but even drunkards have almost disappeared.

Anyone who dares to drink and cause trouble here will not only have to pay a heavy fine, but also have to spend a few days in jail.

"The weather is nice today, what do you think, Arthur?" John rode his horse through the streets of the town, which were filled with mud and livestock excrement.

Arthur stood side by side with him: "What exactly do you want to say? I don't want to play guessing games right now."

The two had just returned from Rhodes Town, and John, who had been in a dark prison for several days, suggested going to a pub for a few drinks.

Javier, who was shot, has been sent back to the camp. Fortunately, it was just a stray bullet, and after timely treatment, the injury was not serious and he could just rest for a few days.

John stopped the horse in front of the tavern: "You know, although the train ticket solves the urgent need, we need more money until the day we can return to Blackwater Town."

Arthur said: "Then you have to wait. Maybe when Jack grows up, we will have a chance to get the money back. But I'm not sure if we can hold on until then. The new century is coming, who will?" Will we live like this? We are probably the last generation."

"And those Pinkertons are very tight-lipped and have already appeared nearby."

"I met them yesterday when I was fishing, and they promised to absolve me of my crime as long as I confess Dutch."

John smiled and said: "Then they found the wrong person."

If you want to say who is most loyal to Dutch in the gang, it is definitely the bold and careful man in front of him.

"However, I still think we should move to another place as soon as possible. Horseshoe View is no longer safe."

Arthur tied the horse and said, "Dutch is in the tavern now. You can tell him in person."

There are two taverns in Valentine, and the one they came to is the smaller one. With three tables crammed into it, it seemed very crowded, and the business was not very good.

When Arthur and John came in, Dutch was the only customer at the table.

Next to the King of Ideas is Mr. Strauss, the gang's accountant, who asked Arthur to collect loan sharks.

The two were discussing something, and Dutch looked very excited.

"Compromise? I'm afraid this word doesn't exist in my dictionary! And at my age, it's too late to change."

Arthur walked over and said hello: "Good afternoon, gentlemen!"

"Oh, oh, oh, I actually heard something good from you. It's really rare." Dutch teased in an exaggerated tone.

Arthur said seriously: "We are new here, so we should be kind to others."

"I brought you your favorite child, not a hair missing. Should Mr. Van der Linde buy me a drink?"

John gave him the middle finger.

Dutch patted Arthur on the arm and laughed: "You are my favorite child. Although I often let you do some 'cool work', there is no denying that you are my most trusted subordinate."

Arthur raised his chin at John: "Did you see that our Mr. Van der Linde is best at smooth talk, and his mouth is sweeter than any of the street concubines?"

Normally, members of the Fan Gang often make such sarcastic jokes among themselves, and Dutch doesn't find it offensive.

Even the usually staid Austrian cashier showed a smile.

After the joke, Dutch dismissed John and Strauss: "My second favorite child, please go buy a few cigars for me. Strauss will go with him to prevent the grocery store owner from playing tricks."

Strauss didn't quite understand what tricks a few cigars could do, but he still left the tavern with John.

After watching the two people leave, Dutch poured Arthur a glass of wine himself.

"Cheers to our health!"

After a glass of wine, the Idea King explained his thoughts.

He wanted to rob the bank in the town of Valentine.

After recent observations, he discovered that because Valentine often holds livestock auctions, ranchers who earn large sums of money will deposit the money in the nearest bank to prevent their funds from being robbed, so the cash pool of the town bank is quite large. , snatching it is definitely a sure-profit deal.

"Then us" Arthur hesitated.

Dutch understood what he meant: "Move, I have asked Hosea to find a new camp."

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrogant voice suddenly sounded outside the tavern.

"Vanderlinde, get out! Van der Linde, get out of here!"

Upon hearing the call, Arthur immediately went on alert, drew his gun, and cautiously approached the window.

Outside the window, an old man with a gray beard wearing a luxurious suit was shouting at the tavern, surrounded by a group of gunmen, at least forty or fifty.

John and Strauss, who had been sent away just now, had been captured by them.

"Vanderlinde, you and I are strangers to each other, but you have been snatching my things. My name is Leviticus Cornish, and I am not someone you can afford to mess with. Get out, or I will Kill these two people!"

Speaking of which, this big capitalist in the west is also unlucky.

The banknote transport ship that the Fan Gang robbed in Blackwater Town was his. Later, when they left the Snowy Mountains, the Fan Gang robbed a train and obtained bearer bonds worth tens of thousands of dollars that were still his. Even the money that Arthur had stolen a few days ago was his. Tanker Carriage, also owned by Cornish.

She grabbed him over and over again. This was no longer a provocation, it was simply a humiliation!

Various reasons led Cornwall, a wealthy man with a lot of money, to come forward in person, vowing to catch Dutch and his entourage.

"You self-destructive beast, I will never let you continue to live in this world!"

"Vanderlinde, you're done, get out of here!" Cornwall's angry shouts continued. Arthur and Dutch in the tavern knew that they might not be able to be kind today, so they prepared to show weakness to the enemy first. Then play it by ear.

After making up their mind, the two of them raised their hands and slowly walked out of the tavern.

Dutch began to delay, speaking deliberately very slowly to defend himself: "Please, gentlemen, this is a serious misunderstanding."

"You must have arrested the wrong person."

"I don't want to be punished for the crimes that other people have committed. There is nothing worse in the world."

"I swear I have no idea who you call Van der Linde."

When the attention of dozens of gunmen was all attracted by Dutch, Arthur saw the opportunity, pulled out his gun at almost lightning speed, and killed the gunman who was restraining John and Strauss.

The first moment John, who had experienced many battles, was rescued, he immediately picked up the weapon dropped by the gunman and pulled the accountant into the bunker.

Everything happened in a flash of lightning. By the time Cornwall's private army reacted, Arthur and others had already occupied a favorable position and launched a fierce counterattack.

But even so, there are more and more enemies, pouring into Valentine like a tide.

And in another tavern in the town, the hail of bullets and loud fighting outside could not affect the tranquility inside at all.

Li Ang sat at the wine table, tasting a red wine braised beef dish.

Bayek stood behind him expressionlessly. Not far away, several ghost dogs gathered together to play cards, including Valentine's deputy police chief.

Bullets often penetrated the walls and entered the tavern, but everyone remained safe.

The only uncalm bartender in the room had retreated into the bar and did not dare to move.

From time to time, the anxious shouts of Fan Gang members can be heard outside.

"Arthur, Strauss has been shot and fell!"

"Arthur, cover me!"

"Arthur, shoot quickly, they are catching up!"

"Arthur, we have to get out!"

Every time someone talks outside, Li Ang can't help but laugh.

After enjoying the delicacies slowly, the guests he invited also arrived.

Cornwall, a wealthy man, entered the pub from behind, escorted by several gunmen.

After sitting down, he first took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his face, and then complained: "Mr. Li Ang, you really gave me a big problem. I want them to be taught a lesson without killing them. My My men suffered heavy losses!”

Li Ang took a sip of wine and asked, "Do you know how long I can keep you alive?"

Cornwall showed no signs of the arrogance he had when facing the Fan Gang just now, and smiled ingratiatingly: "I don't know about this, sir, can you tell me?"

Li Ang replied calmly: "It's been so long that you're not willing to continue living."

Cornwall understood what he meant and laughed dryly: "How is it possible? I don't believe that anyone would give up eternal life."

"This is just a metaphor, Mr. Cornwall." Leon waved his hand and asked Bayek to remove the plate from the table: "The cooperation between us will last longer than your life, what do you think?"

Cornwall squeezed his thigh excitedly: "Of course! We will continue to cooperate until the end of the world."

Li Ang was noncommittal: "The visiting time is over, you can leave."

The eviction order was given so abruptly, but Cornwall was not angry at all. Instead, he happily led his men to leave through the back door again.

The reason why the rich man looks like this is because Li Ang made a promise that he couldn't refuse.

Cornwall is not young anymore. If he wants to continue to control his business empire, he must live long enough. Helping others to live longer is easy for Li Ang.

Cornwall definitely doesn't qualify for immortality, but it's still okay to live for a few more decades.

When the property in his name becomes Li Ang's possession, he will die and pass away peacefully.

Business war is so simple and beautiful.

At the same time, due to the deliberate release of the Cornwall private army, four members of the Fan Gang successfully escaped from the encirclement.

As usual, Arthur was the last one, responsible for distracting the pursuers and allowing others to return to the camp safely.

Dutch and others returned to Ma Zhang to pack their luggage.

Even if they didn't rob the bank, they wouldn't be able to stay in New Hanover any longer.

Seeing that there was no chance, Li Ang left the Valentine Tavern and returned to the Emerald Ranch.

Aqina and the three sisters are also packing their luggage. Next, the family will go to Saint Denis to stay for a few days. They cannot stay in the countryside forever. The scenery in the heart of the earth is beautiful, but there is also a day when you get tired of it.

In addition, there are rumors that there are vampires in Saint Denis, and the three sisters are very curious.

　Recently, a reader asked what worlds the protagonist can enter. I will find time to list them.
